Lenovo T420: The Ultimate Business Machine
Source: Inside HW Archive.org version
As expected, Lenovo have done their best to brush up their best-buy business notebooks series and present a product that is bound to have good grades with users who know exactly what they want. This model’s main selling points are its production quality, hefty software bundle by Lenovo and a high level of performance that won’t leave any user indifferent. All these considered, we feel it’s fair to excuse the few flaws that we’ve established to be plaguing this otherwise excellent PC. The belief that ThinkPad users remain ThinkPad users for life remains unchanged.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
